Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

Man....that is looking really good so far Dave. I like the dividers you have already added in the bottom drawer. What type of hinges did you decide to go with?

The box has a home at my MIL's if my wife has her way. We'll see if it comes out good enough for my MIL.
I haven't decided on hinges yet, but will probably go with some sort of barrel hinge. What size will be determined by how heavy=y the lid feels after I cut it free. The A. Maple panel in it is a full 1/2" thick.

Oh, man I like the wood selection. I can't wait to see it when you put some finish on! It IS amazing how long it takes to put together a box but it's gonna be worth it. 
BTW, what type of wood did you use for the pull...BLUEWOOD??

I decide to go with 3 of the 5mm barrel hinges, I like how the chamfer on the back holds the lid open, and I had them on hand. I didn't feel like the 1/2 hr. drive to Woodcraft for different hinges 
The box is 12" x 6" tall and 7" deep.

Fantastic looking box Dave. You did an excellent job reproducing that jewelry box while only having the one pic of it to work from. Is your liner some of that stick on felt you had or is it Suede-Tex? It looks great.

It's the stick on felt I got from Michael's. It doesn't look as good in person as it does in the pics. It's a very stretchy material and was hard to line up in the spaces  . I think I'll used some of the Suede-tex to fill the gaps that have resulted. I should have done the whole bottom panel in the Suede-tex before I glued everything up, but that would have required another day to proceed. Most of my mistakes are prompted by my impatience
